To Have and to Hold
by Abigail Kade
This was okay, but nothing great.
The book is about Worthy and Crow. Worthy is in an abusive marriage where he is being tortured and humiliated to the highest degree. He decides to escape his husband and steal back all the money his husband took from him. Unfortunately, his soon-to-be ex-husband sends a hired killer (Crow) after him to get the money back.
However, Crow has a moral code that he only hurts those who are evil and never those who are good. So when he finds out Worthy was actually the victim in the marriage things go completely off course..
I liked the idea of this book, and the execution was decent, but I felt like things mostly stayed surface level. Nothing was explored particularly in depth, which I thought was a bit of a shame.
I thought Worthy and Crow had good chemistry, but there wasn't much of a build-up between them, and their connection also wasn't completely established. It was pretty much insta-love.
I especially liked the way Crow saw Worthy: sweet, innocent and good. Someone he wants to protect like a puppy. It was cute how he tried his best to make Worthy want to stay with him.
The relationship is, for the most part, based on the fact that Worthy and Crow share the same kink. They're into pain and blood-play, which they want to try to make work between them. There is a lot of talk of these kinks, but we don't see them do much of it.
I guess it depends per person whether you think the lack of showing the kink rather than talking about it is a good or a bad thing.
PS. If there is ever a book released about Osprey and Diego I would read that ASAP, no questions asked. I would genuinely love that so much! We only got a glimpse of their relationship here, but they still stole the show completely: I was already obsessed.
